Turkey
Best Time to Visit Edremit
Edremit, on the Aegean coast below the Kaz Mountains, has hot, dry summers and mild, rainy winters. The best time depends on whether you want beach weather, hiking comfort, or low prices.
✦ Go in May or September for the best combination of swimming weather, quiet sites, and reasonable prices.
✅ Best months
May and September: daytime temperatures sit around 24-28°C, the sea is warm enough for swimming, and accommodation is cheaper than midsummer.
🔥 Peak season
July and August: thermometers hit 35°C, Turkish holidaymakers flood the coast, hotel prices double, and the Edremit Olive Harvest Festival takes place in late August.
💷 Shoulder (best value)
Late April and early June offer 20-25°C weather, spring flowers, few tourists, and rooms at 60-70% of peak rates.
🌙 Quietest & cheapest
December to February: rainy and 8-14°C, many beach hotels close, but you get rock-bottom prices and empty streets in the town centre.

🧳 What to pack
Bring a light waterproof jacket even in summer — sudden Aegean downpours can drench an afternoon, especially in spring and autumn.
